Rev. Adejumo shared that she was directed by God to ordain Kathy as the next Bishop after her husband’s death.
“My assignment is to present to you your new Bishop. The official consecration will come later to formalise it. But from now, you are free to call her ‘My Bishop’,” Adejumo announced.
Kathy Kiuna, who had been a strong support for her late husband, was unaware that she would receive this new title that day.
“God has put in her what it takes, and her name changes from today. From today, I present to you, no longer Reverend, but Bishop Kathy Allan Kiuna,” Adejumo declared.
She emphasized that Kathy is fully capable of leading the church and should be respected in her new role.
Rev. Adejumo also cautioned the congregation to honor Kathy’s new position and warned against undermining the church.

Quoting Ezra 6:11, she stated, “Whoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged.”
She further added, “If you want to leave this ministry to go and start original international JCC, don’t trouble this house… Don’t badmouth this ministry. Don’t take any member along. Don’t muddle the water that fed you. Just go and start on your own.”
Rev. Adejumo warned, “I was sent from Nigeria to come and warn you. If you want to exit because you loved Bishop, not Lady Bishop, it’s okay. We too don’t want you. Ungrateful people are not bad. They are evil. If you want to go, we say bye-bye… Just carry your wife and children and go… What our father left here is joy and unity.”
During the service, Kathy Kiuna expressed her gratitude for her children and addressed why her daughter Stephanie was unable to attend her father’s funeral.
“I thank God for my children. We miss Stephanie so much. She really did try to come, but for reasons beyond our control, she was not able to. But she will come very soon, together with her family,” Kathy explained.
Despite the mourning, Kathy Kiuna encouraged the congregation to stay united and continue the legacy of Bishop Allan Kiuna.
“I know that we are grieving, and we will grieve. But one thing I know for sure, the scriptwriter has never made a mistake. Let us walk this journey as JCC,” she said.
Kathy also shared that her spiritual mentor informed her that God is calling her to start a movement. “JCC, you have no idea what God is about to do. Let us rally together and do this for the King of Kings,” she urged.
